Screenshots not working

I have 11.4 on my MacBook Pro 2020 13" and can't seem to take a screenshot lately. I have done it many times before; it will pop up on my screen and then save to my desktop. However, now it makes the sound that it's taking a shot, but it never pops up or saves to my desktop. I search for it in Finder under "screenshot" but it's nowhere to be found. Y'all know what to do here?

MacBook Pro (2020 and later)
